[C320-list] fresh water pump

[Amshd2]

John

 I have hull number 30.  I replaced mine a couple of years ago with a new pump when the pump would just run and would not prime or pump.

You can find rebuild kits for the pump but after 15 plus years I went with a new one.  The pumps have rubber diaphrams in them that wear out.  If the pump has never been replaced or overhuald sounds like it is time.  

Since yours is causing the breaker to pop I would consider a new pump they are easy to R/R.

Hi All.
My fresh water tanks are full.  I turn my battery is "on".  When I switch the 
ater pump toggle switch to "on", and have the galley sink faucet open, I hear 
he pump working, I get a trickle of water and then about 10 seconds later the 
ircuit breaker pops.  Is this a pump problem, an electrical problem, a problem 
ith a blockage in the line somewhere, or something else?  Any ideas?
Thanks
